How To Enable window.status in Firefox
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkSunday, May 14, 2006
Strangely you cannot set browser window status bar using javascript (by setting window.status) in Firefox. There are two simple ways you can enable it.
Open about:config in browser and search for dom. disable_window_status_change. Change it to false.
Additionally in Firefox v1.0, this can be changed via “Tools → Options → Web Features → Enable JavaScript / Advanced → Allow scripts to change status bar text”
In Firefox v1.5, this can be changed via “Tools → Options → Content → Enable JavaScript / Advanced → Allow scripts to change status bar text”
via MozillaZine; learnt the hard way.

What is the point of this? You cannot change the settings of the website viewer… Not much point in making status messages for yourself? |
